Fire and EMS units responded for an unknown odor at 3852 Florence Drive Friday night at 8:53 p.m. The concentration of the odor was strong enough for residents in the building to begin evacuating prior to the arrival of fire department units. Seven people were evaluated by paramedics with complaints of feeling sick. A nine-year-old female with a history of asthma was transported to Alexandria Hospital with tightness in her throat. Her disposition is unknown.
The Hazardous Materials Team monitored and took readings to determine the source and identity of the odor. It was determined that someone had expelled pepper spray. After ventilating, residents were allowed to return to their apartments.
